Re: [BProc] Updates to Clustermatic 3 CD

[Larry B. <ba...@us...>]

Josh's recipe worked for me (Red Hat 8.0).  However, I am not able to update the Clustermatic 3 CD installation with the
tarballs from bproc.sourceforge.net.  The bjs package does not need updating.  Of the 3 for which there are updates
(beoboot, bproc, and cmtools), I was only able to update the cmtools library.  To get beoboot to build an RPM, I had to
create a soft link from /usr/src/linux to the 2.4.19 LANL kernel directory.  But, the phase 1 boot images failed -- I'm
guessing because the 2.4.19 LANL kernel doesn't support tmpfs.  I then tried to make an RPM for the new bproc, hoping it
would have the new kernel.  But, it does not, and the rpmbuild failed.  So, I guess I'll just wait for the next
Clustermatic CD.
